INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 355.447

Balancing adjustments for assets partially used for R&D activities

  (1)   The * R&D entity has an amount under this section if:

  (a)   a * balancing adjustment event happens in the present year for an asset * held by the R&D entity and for which:

  (i)   the R&D entity can deduct, for an income year, an amount under section   40 - 25, as that section applies apart from Division   355 and former section   73BC of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ; or

  (ii)   the R&D entity could have deducted, for an income year, an amount as described in subparagraph   (i) if the R&D entity had used the asset; and

  (b)   the R&D entity is entitled under section   355 - 100 to * tax offsets for one or more income years for deductions (the R&D deductions ) under section   355 - 305 for the asset; and

  (c)   an amount (the section   40 - 285 amount ) is included in the R&D entity's assessable income for the asset under section   40 - 285 (after applying subsection   40 - 292(2)) for the present year .

Note:   This section applies in a modified way if you have deductions for the asset under former section   73BA or 73BH of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (see section   40 - 292 of the Income Tax (Transitional Provisions) Act 1997 ).

  (2)   The amount is worked out as follows:

Start formula start fraction Total R&D deductions over Total decline in value end fraction times Adjusted section 40-285 amount end formula

where:

"adjusted section 40- 285 amount" means so much of an amount equal to the section   40 - 285 amount as does not exceed the total decline in value.

"total decline in value" means the * cost of the asset less its * adjustable value.
